Abstract

A moisture depending anisotropic viscoelastic material model is presented in this paper. The necessity of consideration cylindrical anisotropy is caused by the growing process. Wood exhibits different creep characteristics depending on the state of stress. Therefore, the consideration of anisotropic viscoelasticity is required. (© 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
